The History of Big Data - 2

In my blog "The History of Big Data", it says the name "big data" originated as a tag for a class of technology with roots in high-performance computing.

After reading NYTimes article "The Origins of ‘Big Data’: An Etymological Detective Story" ,  I found out the origins of Big Data might not be different. 

In the article, it mentioned Francis X. Diebold, an economist at the University of Pennsylvania and his most recent paper. In the paper it concludes: “The term Big Data, which spans computer science and statistics/econometrics, probably originated in the lunch-table conversations at Silicon Graphics in the mid-1990s, in which John Mashey figured prominently.”
